The CALOSTAT® Sandwich insulation panels have been the material of choice for many planners and building contractors in Germany since it’s introduction to the market in 2018.

Since then, CALOSTAT® Sandwich has generated enthusiasm among experts and juries and was the winner of a number of prestigious awards in 2020 including: The Gold Prize at the German Innovation Awards in the construction category, “Best Product of 2020” from the Callwey Verlag architectural publishing house, the 2020 materialPREIS from raumPROBE and the 2021 German Design Award in the Eco-Design category.

CALOSTAT® is a high-performance insulation material that combines the best insulation values with fire protection and sustainability. It is a purely mineral insulation material based on silicon dioxide.

The high-performance insulation and its outstanding values make it the material of choice for challenging applications.

 

CALOSTAT Sandwich has two variants:

  • CALOSTAT® Sandwich MW

A CALOSTAT® Pure core, mechanically bonded to two facings of mineral wool.

This insulation panel is suitable for the insulation rainscreen cladding systems and ceilings of underground parking lots & basements.

 

  • CALOSTAT® Sandwich MW-F

A CALOSTAT® Pure core with a mechanically bonded mineral wool covering layer on the face and a woven glass fleece on the rear.

 

CALOSTAT® insulation panels are also available in two other variants, CALOSTAT® Pure and CALOSTAT® Pad.

 

Key features of the CALOSTAT range:

  • A class A (non-combustible) building material
  • Remarkably low thermal conductivity, starting at λ of 0.019W/(mK)
  • High compressive strength of ≥ 90 kPa
  • Gross density of 165 kg/m³

 

Where can I use CALOSTAT insulation?

The special properties of CALOSTAT® mean that the insulation panels can be used in a wide range of applications where the advantages of the material are fully exploited.

The insulating panel has been developed for various high performance insulation applications including flat & pitched roofs, in ceilings of underground basements & carparks, throughout the internal structure of the building and in the façade build up, being used as rainscreen insulation as well as for unitized façade panels.

Most of the time, CALOSTAT® is used where space is very limited and an A - fire rating is required. It can also help to minimize the thickness of the build-up in order to enlarge floor area.
